We offer a range of specialized services tailored to meet your individual needs. Our approach is focused on understanding and responding to what you require, providing effective and practical solutions.
Kruger Safari
The Greater Kruger is the undisputed heartbeat of the African safari—a vast, untamed theatre where the world’s most iconic wildlife roams without borders. At Curated Horizons, we specialize in the "connoisseur’s Kruger," focusing on the exclusive private reserves where the crowds fade and the raw intimacy of the bush takes centre stage.
The Soul of African Slow Travel
Step into a world where time slows to the rhythm of the rails. Rovos Rail captures the romance of a bygone era, whisking you through the heart of Africa in beautifully restored wood-panelled carriages. This is more than a journey; it is a cinematic odyssey that blends the glamour of the "golden age" with the raw, untamed majesty of the continent’s most iconic landscapes.
Cape Town
Cape Town is one of the world’s great cities, where dramatic natural beauty meets a rich sense of history. Framed by Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean, it offers golden beaches, celebrated vineyards, a vibrant waterfront and striking coastal drives, all within easy reach. From the elegance of the Cape Winelands to the energy of the city itself, Cape Town is stylish, scenic and effortlessly compelling.
Let us start shaping your Cape Town journey and make it truly your own.
The Eastern Cape Safari & Beach
The Eastern Cape offers a rare pairing of refined safari and unspoilt coastline. Enjoy malaria-free Big Five game viewing in exclusive private reserves, followed by time on a wild, undeveloped shoreline where warm ocean waters and wide beaches encourage a slower rhythm. Quieter and less travelled than other regions, it delivers exceptional wildlife, understated luxury and a genuine sense of place.
The Garden Route
Winding along South Africa’s southern coast, the Garden Route is a landscape of contrasts—lush forests, rugged cliffs, hidden lagoons and sun-drenched beaches. Every turn reveals a new vista, every stop a story waiting to be discovered.
The Wine Lands
Rolling vineyards, majestic mountain backdrops, and sunlit estates make the South African Winelands a feast for the senses. Savor world-class wines, explore charming towns, and enjoy experiences that blend elegance, tradition, and the slow pleasure of life well lived.
Kwazulu Natal AND The Battlefields
Step onto the rolling hills and open plains of the Zulu Battlefields, where history comes alive and tales of courage and strategy echo across the land. Visit the legendary Rorke’s Drift and other key sites, each offering a window into a past shaped by bravery and legacy, set against the striking landscapes of KwaZulu-Natal.
The Drakensbergs
Rising majestically along South Africa’s eastern spine, the Drakensberg mountains are a world of jagged peaks, cascading waterfalls, and ancient rock art. Every trail, valley, and vista invites discovery, offering a sense of awe, serenity, and timeless wonder.
